Bay of Pigs cancelled

I remember reading that a reporter for the New York Times learned of the plan to invade Cuba and was convinced not to report it. What if a leftist newspaper from another country reported the story? What effect does canceling the attack have? wWhat if the leak happens during the 1960 election? I'd say that Kennedy wins a majority of the popular vote.

He did win a majority of the popular vote...

Honestly while a leak would probably cause the program to be folded or dramatically reorganized (Maybe reverting to a small landing of insurgents rather then La Brigada?) I don't really think that it coming out is going to have any major effect on the election, Just because some "Red Rag from Rotterdam" or wherever says it, doesn't mean that the American people are going to eat it up.
